A young boy was hit in the head by a line drive during the Atlanta Braves' 5-0 win over Milwaukee on Tuesday night at Turner Field but was "conscious and talkative," a team official told The Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Milwaukee's Carlos Gomez lined a Julio Teheran pitch into the stands down the first-base line. Teheran heard the child get hit, according to The Associated Press.

"The team and all of Braves Country have him in our thoughts and prayers," the team said in a statement.

Teheran was shaken by the incident.

"That was scary for me," Teheran said. "I knew it hit somebody. It was a fast and hard. No one had a chance to get out of the way."

He sent his best wishes to the child.

"I didn't know if it hit a kid or a big person. I knew it was going to hit somebody because it was fast and hard and nobody would have a chance to get (out of the way). ... I hope he's fine."
